Oscar de la Hoya: Thank you very much, Kelly, and thank you, all the media for being on the call. Rivals is going to be a very interesting because not only do you have two great fighters who are once again facing each other, but this rematch has been in the making for many years. Each fighter has gone their way. Each fighter cemented their legacy. But on the other hand, you have one fighter in Bernard Hopkins who has been stepping up to the plate and really making history as time goes by. And it doesnt seem like hes getting any older. Hes getting younger.. He has on the way of making history. Hes beaten the likes of Antonio Tarver. Hes made history by beating Felix Trinidad. And when you talk about Bernard Hopkins, you talk about a living legend. So April 3rd, its nothing but respect towards both fighters because of what theyve accomplished and what they are still able to accomplish. And so the fact that these two fighters are facing each other really shows a great deal of admiration they have for the sport and for the fans. This is truly one of those rivalries that you just dont want to miss. I know that style makes fights and from watching the first fight taking place, it was a very competitive fight. Obviously Roy Jones, Jr. came out with a victory. He was the more seasoned, experienced fighter, but now you have Bernard Hopkins, who has also gained the respect from everyone because of his dominating performances. But also, hes gained the experience to match or even surpass Roy Jones Jr. in skill and talent alone. So it is my pleasure and honor to be introducing a living legend. He is one of the best middleweights that weve ever seen in the sport of boxing. He carries a record of 50 and 5 with 32 knock-outs. He is trained by one of the best or if not the best trainer in the world, Nazim Richardson. That is Bernard Hopkins. Q: Why do you think it took so long to get this rematch? B. Hopkins A lot of reasons. Its over 15 years and things happen, just like in most negotiations, some fights go through, some fights dont. At the end of the day, its a combination of a lot of things. But sometimes its the one fighter dont want to really fight the next fighter where he can fight anybody else and make the same money or more and not take a risk. We all know that exists in boxing and unfortunately, but you can call it good management. You can call it good promotion. You can call it whatever, but Im always willing and able to fight anybody. I dont think anybody can charge or accuse me of ducking anybody in boxing. You can, anything you want to say about Bernard Hopkins, but I dont think my worse enemy can say that Bernard Hopkins was afraid to fight anybody. I really believe that. Q: Do you think that people still care about this rematch? Obviously, you have continued to be a great fighter. Youre 45 years old now and youre still fighting like you were a lot younger. But you have two guys over 40 fighting; do you think people do care at this point? B. Hopkins I think people care. I think people care just like if Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was playing a one on one and youre a basketball fan, youre going to show up. One thing, age cannot compete with accomplishments and names and with those individuals or us have done in the boxing game. When you have a situation where you dont see this often, I think you will agree, I hope that you look to agree that this doesnt happen all the time on a respectful level. The word respect is very important in this fight. This is not on some clown reality show where you have two wrestlers, two boxers, two old entertainers, two old singers squared off in some reality show. This is the real deal. This is the real deal and Im pretty sure youre going to be watching, too. Q: One last question there, Bernard, youve only fought what once in the last year and a half or so. Do you feel like you can shake out the ring rust and be in top shape for this fight? B. Hopkins Yes, because Im a veteran and Ive been doing this thing as a professional for over 18 years. And if Im not mistaken, I was off eight or nine months before I beat up Kelly Pavlik whos the Great White Hope 17 years younger than me. And I so I dont have anything to do with the guy thats experienced to understand the name of the game and you know the way I live. The book is already written on me. Everybody knows Bernard Hopkins. I always come in shape. I walk around 10, 15 pounds over at most in between fights. Im a rare breed, man. I answer the call when the call is called and youll see a great performance come April 3rd. Q: Obviously, youve been able to compete at the highest level a lot longer and a lot better than Roy has. Why do you think thats the case? Why do you think hes declined where you maintained really high level of competiveness. B. Hopkins I think a lot of it has to do with my having to rely on fundamentals from the beginning. One thing about boxing, boxing is one of those sports where starting off, a guy might look like he isnt going to last long in the game. I remember a friend of mine named David Reed who came out of the Olympics with a gold medal. He came and went. Jermaine Taylor, the recent bronze medal winner of the Olympic came and went. You deal with the individual. You have to deal with the individual. You have some average, you have some thats good and you have some thats special. The ones that stand out as the special ones are in our history books that we all talk about, whether its baseball, football, hockey, boxing. Thats why we talk about legends as Oscar de la Hoya mentioned, living legends, legends who arent here anymore. They will never be missed. They will never be unspoken when we talk about different sports. When I leave the game, I wish and hope and I know that Im doing all I can to have that same conversation talking about Bernard Hopkins 10, 15, 20 years from now. So its about the person. Its all about the persons style, lifestyle, the way he takes care of himself and last but not least, genetics. Genetics plays a lot in peoples lives, just the way they age quicker than others. Q: I was going to mention the styles. I always thought that Roy relied almost too much on his speed and his athleticism and once that started to go, maybe he started to go. And in your case, you developed such great skills, that you didnt rely as much as just your natural gifts. You relied more on your brain. Does that make sense? B. Hopkins Yes, that makes a lot of sense and to add on to that is that I think that in this era, I think Im one of the greatest technician fighters, a technic fighter that boxing ever produced. Now some people think thats a boring way to fight, but thats what boxing is all about, longevity, executing your opponent. Q: We were just on the phone with Roy before you came on to do your portion of this call. I asked him for his recollections of the first bout, which obviously we know he won. It was your first championship fight, his first championship fight. Ive never heard you dispute the decision, but Id like if you could just give me your recollections of why that fight went the way it did and what you think about the way that that fight went and if is has any bearing whatsoever on what may take place next Saturday. B. Hopkins Well, first the fight was a fight where Roy was the most out of tube, out of myself and him was the better fighter. He was the better fighter not only from his experience, but the ability. Roy Jones was one of the brightest amateurs to come out in the long term. We all know that he should have got a gold medal, but he got a silver medal and he was just the all around better fighter, all around quicker, all around smarter. And even, I dont know if he had it then or waiting on the table after the fight was over, a multi-million HBO contract waiting on him. So a lot of people had a lot of high expectations for this guy and he deserved everything he got. And he owned up to all that stuff eventually. So that night, May 22nd, I believe in RFK Stadium was the night that changed both of our lives. I think the history reflects what happened after those years flew by. He went his way and I went my way as you know. Q: Why was he able to for a lack of a better term, be able to beat you so easily? B. Hopkins Well, I dont know if he was beating me easily. I think it was a fight where both of us didnt do what were supposed to do. Its just the thing then where going into that fight, I literally probably had to do what most people have to do in my situation, win and win big and I didnt. I make no excuses for that because that fight there helped sculpture the character and my psyche of going in that ring and training and ran off 27 something straight wins after that fight. And I believe I went undefeated forward ten years holding that middleweight- And that was Segundo Mercardo, which I believe I won that in Ecuador, but I wound up knocking him out four months later and became the IBO champion. But the thing is there, it shows that when I get a second chance in life, I think everybody whos listening to this should take account in this. Its not for a record up on the computer and see the times I fought people twice. Other than the Jermain Taylor fight, which people still see it my way, I normally get it right the second time around. Q: Well, I have to ask you about that. Why are you going to get it right the second time around for you, Bernard with Roy Jones? B. Hopkins Guess what then, its funny if you ever look at it in my life personally, I never went back, baby. So its just in my DNA to, when I fall, if I ever get up, dont look for me to fall again. That is just me personally. Forget boxing. Thats just me personally. Now boxing, it makes it better for me because I know that I can have always that clutch, remember. Q: Do you think that winning the rematch with him, other than personal satisfaction of evening the score, put that aside for a second, because obviously if you beat him, youre going to be satisfied because youve won a fight and youve beaten the guy that most would consider your greatest rival. That it may not have the same meaning of beating him that it may have had if this fight took place when he was more at the fresher part of his career and maybe even just a few years ago. B. Hopkins: What Ill prove is that reason Roy Jones didnt want to fight me because he understood the execution thats coming April 3rd. I think that I will be the last judge and the jury to show people that he wanted to beat me late, he got it late. He could have gotten it earlier, but he wanted to play the dollar money game. So my whole thing is like I said early on to people before this fight was being worked out, I would have named it personal because it is a personal vendetta. It is a personal achievement I accomplished almost mostly everything else I wanted to do in boxing when others said I couldnt. So when you want to stay in this game, if youre smart, you would try to find nothing soft to stay in there because then you could be conquered. So I know I have something legitimate to me to me personally. I know that going into this fight and as I trained so hard with these young guys for almost six, seven weeks, I know that Roy Jones, Jr. is going to put up his last defense to try to win this fight. Hes rather lose to you than lose to Bernard Hopkins. Thats how much animosity, sort of like the Larry Bird, Magic Johnson saga. I went to Florida down to Roys farm to negotiate with him. I dont know if you remember doing a story on when I got on the plane, went to Pensacola to talk to Roy Jones Jr. thought we had a deal, though we had a deal, thought we could go ahead and announce it to media. And he sort of played me, but Im trying to be a man, trying to look in his face in his hometown, on my dime flew down there with no entourage, by myself, no, I think it was Andre Fisher with me at that time. Im sitting there talking to this guy after waiting in the lobby for 40 minutes and he was just using me to do another fight. He was using me to get it out there that Bernard Hopkins and Roy might fight. And whatever deal that he was working on the side, he made that happen quickly because thats the old negotiation trick, everybody does it. But at the end of the day, I got it all marked down on my listing in my head. Every punch is going to mean something in 17 years, so that means I have to be pulling a lot of combinations. Q: Was that the time when you went to the farm and when you were done, you said you had been to Roys farm and after the negotiations didnt work out, you realized that, I believe you said he was a chicken and a pig. B. Hopkins Yes, exactly. Q: So even though Roy is at the end of his career, you will take equal satisfaction of beating him down on April 3rd as you would have, had it been four or five years ago when you were both still at the top of your game. B. Hopkins Yes, and the thing is this. I think anybody if theyre still in the game has one great game left in them and really looking at take that out there and I know I have to be right. Just like the football player, Brett Favre. He knows he has one more game left in him and he knows hes going to try to get that Super Bowl, win, lose or draw. But he just wants to make it there by being 38, 39. Thats how athletes think, the ones on that level. I cant speak for anybody else, but I know for a fact that Roy Jones, Jr. is not coming in no fight to lay down. Hes going to try you. Hes going to try me and hes going to try to make up for everything that happened to him or over the last five or six years because hes batting 500 right now. If he was a baseball player, 500 isnt bad, 500 isnt good. But guess what? He thinks that if he can go ahead and accomplish a big bang with me, that in his mind, not yours, but in his mind the way he thinks, he can erase anything that you thought or said about him prior to April 3rd. I know how this guy thinks. He thinks he knows me. I think I know him. This fight here is a fight that the winner is going to get rewarded if he gets the knock-out. Thats the great thing about this fight because it isnt winner take all, all that crap you said, the hype of the press conference, no, no, no. We know that we have an incentive that you have to be out of character for this fight. Roy Jones Jr. has been vulnerable only because the things that he had when we first fought. If you stay in the game, we all lose something in this game if you stay around long enough. Now, Ray, few people can stand around in their mid 30s, let alone 40s. So we all lose something, but some can adapt to other things and camouflage it. And some where so special, so talented, where they didnt have to have the basics. They didnt have to have the jab. Theyd get you with your left foot, jumping from one side of the ring. But when you stay in the game long enough and the basics become now your lifesaver, oh, boy, oh, boy. I dont have to tell you what the ending will be. Q: Roy just said on the conference call that he knows you as a fighter and theres no way today you can beat him. And also he said that hes going to knock you out. I just wanted to know if you had a version of how you thought the fight was going to come out and how you felt about him saying that. B. Hopkins Well, first of all, hes lying. Hes not going to do anything to me, especially knock me out. But I know that when youre going to get somebody, things happen. And so one thing about being aggressive, when youre being aggressive and you throw punches, things can happen. So Im not saying that I cant get knocked out. Im telling you that Roy is not going to knock Bernard Hopkins out. See because I believe Ive done everything I had to do in camp to be victorious in this fight. I know we have to promote the fight, but Im trying to restrain from getting into a verbal war with Roy Jones Jr. because Id rather be an executioner leading up to this fight because the executioner really doesnt talk. He just show up, do his job and leave. But I know this is an executioner that happens to be a promoter and I have to do the things and answer the questions the best way I can. So Roy Jones is saying these things. Do I think he believes this? Yes. I think Roy one thing hes right about, even though he probably didnt mention it. Hes one up on me. Im not one up on him. Hes one up on me. Right now hes one up on Bernard Hopkins. I dont care if hes old or have the things he used to have what everybody says, fine, great. But right now, hes one up on Bernard Hopkins and its my job to even that up. Ill be two up on him when I knock him out. That counts for two. Q: So just one more question, after 56 professional fights, youre 45 years old and it comes to the point of you agreeing to do this fight. I know youre one of the most prepared boxers coming into the ring. But does it ever come into your mind about the fact of injury maybe happening? B. Hopkins Fighters go through injuries all the time in training. Were no different than football players and basketball players when they go on the court and go on the field with their ankles bandaged and they play through it. Athletes, 90% of them will tell you even in high school and college, we fight and play with injuries all the time. They just dont tell you. This is just something we live with. Thats just the way it goes. No matter what kind of athlete it is, hell tell you Bernard is right. Thats what we do. We dont worry about those things, man. We dont worry. Reporters dont have to worry about if he doesnt have ink in his pen. We dont worry about it. Im not saying its bad because you have to write. So you have to write, you have to make sure you have a couple pens on you. With fighters and athletes, we might do that stuff, man. We go to the store and may get some Ben-Gay and get some whatever we have to get and get through it. Q: I have a question for you on Roy Jones. On the previous call he said that he was knocked down by Danny Green as a result of an illegal hand wraps. What strikes you about that? Does that hold water to you? B. Hopkins Yes, absolutely, as far as possibility or allegedly because I wasnt there, but Ive the .hand wraps compared to his right hand wraps different, goal, different texture, different inches of it. And I tell you my personal experience, as you know and you probably remember it just as clear as I do, 2001 with Felix Trinidad and with Nazene Richardson, who just happened to disclose two incidents where he had a piece of plastic substance in his hand wrap and obviously got suspended. Well, Felix Trinidad, it didnt get that far. But the commission made him wrap his hands all over again and he was ticked off, threatening to not fight, threatening not to go out there. Come on, man, your hands is wrapped the way you used to get it wrapped, but you think it gives you an advantage and you have to rewrap, the man was thinking about not fighting again. So thats the psychological defeat there and then you have to go in the ring. Thats not good. So, yes, now lets go to the fight. Lets go. I saw the fight right after I got out of the ring, December 2nd in Philadelphia. They showed it to me on the monitor. I also have a DVD. Roy Jones got hit in the back of the head. His equilibrium was off, got up, didnt get hit with a big shot, a big throwing shot. They stopped it. Based on that, I think he didnt get the benefit of the doubt. The hand wrap thing came later on. But when I saw the fight, I said wait a minute. Im thinking before he got knocked out, the minute 50 seconds, he never got up. He was stretched out like he was when he fought Glen Johnson who I knocked out when he was undefeated. I did Glen Johnson, he was 37-0. When I saw the tape, they stopped it because of that? They were in Australia, you understand that. Im saying they stopped the fight because of this because of that to me was a premature stop. I dont think he got for the legacy that he carries and what he brings to the table, I dont think that coming off of three or four wins prior to that, I dont think he got the benefit of the doubt for the legacy he brings to the game. Thats my personal opinion. I said it before the contract I signed because I didnt this fight was really going to take off until the tape was shown. When I saw the tape and the three other people saw the tape, especially Golden Boy, we made a decision. People in American didnt get a chance to see it unless they watched it on YouTube. But if they ever got a chance to see it, I believe a lot more people would have said that Roy Jones Jr. didnt get the benefit of the doubt. I really believe that and Im a safety first fighter. I believe they stopped the fight based on where Roy Jones Jr. knocked on punches. Q: Id say you agree/disagree though. I think youre in a bit of a Catch-22. I think its possible that his chin is fatally compromised. If you dont stop them, then people say Bernard beat a shot Roy Jones, what about that? Are you in a Catch-22? B. Hopkins I think its a situation where were both in a Catch-22. Saying more about my age when Im doing interviews, but they forgot I just got finished beating up a guy 17 years younger thats a killer named Kelly Pavlik. Its funny how people keep forgetting and they have short memories. So as I keep being reminded that Im 45 like its a death sentence, Im trying to remind them that yes, I am, but have I given you any evidence that I fight like Im 45? Im not talking about your personally. Im not talking about you personally. But to me, I think were both in a Catch-22. I said this for my future career. Yes, I still have a career. I hope to come out healthy. What I mean by that is I hope to win this fight not only impressively. I probably wont get the credit because of whats out there about Roy. But Roy is setting up the next big thing for Bernard Hopkins thats going to have people saying has he lost is mind. But then youre going to have people saying, man, it was done before. It already done by two people who happened to be middleweights at that time. So my whole thing is, Im in a Catch-22 personally to answer your question, because of my age, because I think theres some entities out there that want me to just go away, go away, Bernard. Q: Who wants you to go away? B. Hopkins Oh, the mob. Q: The mob? B. Hopkins Yes. Q: Talk to me, the mob, who? B. Hopkins In boxing. Q: Yes. B. Hopkins The mob to me in boxing means the entity of powerful people that runs and calls the shots to make things happen when they want it to happen. Now you fill in the dots. Q: Does that mean youre going to be fighting David Haye next? B. Hopkins To me the mob isnt the whole 50s and 60s guy with a cigar in his hat and cigar in his mouth and a hat tilted to the side sitting ringside waiting for somebody to die. Thats old school. Thats all played out right now. They dont get any respect in America any more. Im talking about when you look in the dictionary and you see the word mob, thats a group of people. So let me define mob, so everybody understands. Mob is a group of powerful people that have their goal is to make things happen when they want it to happen. Now you fill the dots in who you want that to be. Q: Bernard, last thing. Are you going to fight David Haye next. Is that what you were referring to before? B. Hopkins Im going to fight David Haye? I think he has a fight with John Ruiz. Q: I think he beats John Ruiz and I think you beat Roy. Thats just my guesstimation. If both those things happen and you fight Haye? B. Hopkins Well, we need you to start pumping that right now because you like me. If you want to start writing, I might use you for like, I guess a PR person for me. Q: You got a good one. You have Kelly. You dont need me, you know that. B. Hopkins I need you since you got that pen. You can go ahead and write that scenario because that scenario sounds good to me. But I have to come through April 3rd. I have to come through April 3rd. Ive seen John Ruiz pull out a rabbit out of his hat a couple times in his career. Let me tell you, Ive seen John Ruiz pull up some rabbit hats, the rabbit out of a hat so much that wasnt good for the next big thing, that style he has is real funky. I have my fingers crossed, though. Q: Thats some big news. That would be interesting. If you dont do that, Id like to see you fight Chad Dawson, though. You did it against Pavlik, what about Dawson? B. Hopkins What do I gain fighting Chad Dawson? Q: I dont know, more respect. B. Hopkins I dont know. Do you know what that means? Lets not get into this right now, they would say, Whats Chad Dawson going to do to enhance my career? How does that change Bernards life? He just beat up on a guy 17 years younger, a star in boxing called Kelly Pavlik. Why do you want me to continue to destroy the future of boxing and once Im done I want to promote the guy later on? Q: Because you got more respect out of that fight than youve gotten in I dont know how long. I would like to see an older guy take down a young guy. B. Hopkins I understand that and I agree with you, but its not my fault that they want to respect me when they want to respect me. To me its like a thing where is that as long as people know that Ive always been a guy outside looking in, even though they act like I was in, I like that role. I like the Robin Hood role. I like the renegade role, because the renegade role has its own dignity and he cant be told when he dont agree on something that youre an ingrate. Nobody can call me an ingrate because Ive never been their boy, man. Ive never been an industry boy and everybody thats groaning on this phone understands what that means. Lets not play games. So if I never was the industry boy then, then why would I try to be industry boy now because first of all, Im too far in right now to do the things Ive done my way, the Frank Sinatra way. Why would I turn back now and I got in this position with some help from some people? I got here in spite of a lot of things, why would I sell out now? It doesnt make sense. If I was going to do that, I should have done that prior to being who I became. Q: What about fighting Chad Dawson is selling out? Im not understanding that. Why is that selling out? B. Hopkins Because Chad Dawson hasnt sold out the way you sell out. Chad Dawson hasnt sold out any arena, not even in Hartford, Connecticut. He has no history in pay-per-view. He hasnt beaten anyone of significance other than who, Tarver who lost to a middleweight, Bernard Hopkins? I think it was a split, one and one, he beat and lost to Glen Johnson who I beat undefeated and knocked him out onto the ground. Where do I gain beating Chad Dawson when the money doesnt make sense because HBO doesnt want in on that? The money doesnt make sense. The money is not there. The risk is higher than the reward. What do I gain fighting a Chad Dawson where that brings nothing to me historically? It brings nothing to me financially. There are two key things at 45 years old that get me aroused, financially and history. If it isnt that, I dont get aroused. Q: Bernard, you know how some fighters just feel that they own another guy, like maybe you felt that way when you fought Tarver and Tarver feels that he sees Roy Jones in front of me and says I know I cant beat that guy. I just asked Roy that question. He says he knows he owns you. Can you relate to that? B. Hopkins Nope. Q: You dont see that in other fighters that you faced, like how you just knew you had Tarver in your pocket and where that kind of elevates your game? B. Hopkins Mentally, mentally, I think I have every guy in my pocket when I go in there. Sometimes Ive been right more than Ive been wrong. But me, that way, why take 17 years for us to fight? Q: Im just telling you the impression, what he said. But let me ask you this. B. Hopkins No, no, I agree with you. I was always told you listen to what people say can tell you how really smart they are. I agree with the question. The question you asked me, I understand the question. I tried to figure out if a guy has me the way he says he has my number, then why did it take 17 years for us to fight again? Im not really asking you to answer; Im just answering that question because I really cant. But all I have to do is say, Hey, we should have thought like that eight years ago after I beat Tito and became the undisputed champ and he was the undisputed champ. That would have been great, middleweight undisputed, light heavyweight undisputed. That would have been great. Or maybe he just got my number now, maybe thats it. Q: Let me ask you this. Nobody is talking about this, but, Bernard, do you believe that Roys style presents you trouble for the fact that you like your opponent to come to you. You take the bullets out of their guns and you take him out to sea and you drown him. Where Roy, hes not going to come to you. Hes going to force you into fighting a fight that I believe hes going to make you go to him. Its been while since youve had to fight as the attacker. B. Hopkins I can go back to that. Thats like, if he stays on the ropes because of me and hes not like he used to be, weve been watching. Weve been watching tapes. Weve been doing our homework. This is called homework. I got one of the best strategists in boxing in the last 50 years and thats Naazim Richardson. Listen, if Roy is still on the ropes and hold his hands like hes been doing for the last ten years youve been covering him, the fight wont go past five rounds. Q: Okay, because hes going to make you lead, which he probably feels that youre not at your best. Would you agree with that? B. Hopkins I disagree. I think Im multi-styled. I think that all depends- Q: You could fight both ways, but you like- B. Hopkins I can fight any way. See, first of all, backtrack for a minute. Roy being the dictator on what and how I fight. Its the game of the war of the minds and the war of the experience. See, Roy can get me to do what you say that he wants me to come forward, he wants me to lead, that Im fighting the way he wants me to fight. See, I could have answered that two, three minutes ago when you first with that, but I wanted to go and do some sound bytes. But see the name of this game, we call me a veteran, where people call a veteran, they dont call me that because of my age. That plays a little part. But Im not going to let Roy tell me and show me physically or how we fight in the ring, that Im going to come to him. Hey, when you crack that joker, he might want to get back and come to me. The name of the game and the way I fought, and youve witnessed this and youve written about this, I have a skill to take a guys best weapon, his style and somehow trick him and amaze him to do and fight down to the level of Bernard Hopkins or up to the level of Bernard Hopkins. People have always spoken about how I dictated the pace, slow the pace or fasten the pace. I dictated the pace the way the fight was going to go without them really knowing it until the fight has already gone deep into the fight or deep into the rounds. Q: I would agree with everything you just said and you know Ive written about that. But I would disagree with a little bit on one guy and I think that you couldnt, Jermain Taylor you had a hard time dictating to early in the fight. It took you a while to set him up and thats probably what caused the decision, even though I had you winning the fight. B. Hopkins Yes, thats accurate. Thats accurate and even that fight there, that fight there was a fight where if it was started a little early and this and that, but again, I think those two fights, I think a lot of people on this phone may agree with that. Even though were talking about Roy Jones, April 3rd on HBO Pay-per-view, I think that those two fights with Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor ruined this guys career, I said it. Am I proud of that? Look, Im in the business. That happens. But I think those two 20 something rounds in the ring with Bernard Hopkins, a lot of fighters havent been right. I can name ten of them, which Im not going to do right now. But its an unfortunate thing that happens. When you step into the ring with me, look at Kelly Pavlik. Do you think that Kelly Pavlik is the same? Q: No, his career is totally not the same and you would have undressed him if he fought at 150 or 190. B. Hopkins Roy Jones career right now, the little thats left, will be gone April 3rd. Q: .Bernard, you dont think hes going to be any more trouble than he was last time. B. Hopkins I think its going to be a lot more competitive than the first time because if you go by the 17 years, Roy was unbelievable, unorthodox, did everything that we are told not to do in the gym. Look at his Tarver fight, the second fight, Tarver was just as nervous and scared as Roy, but Tarver took that jab out there and beat him and threw that right hand and Roy tried not getting hit. So when you think about getting knocked out, when you think about not getting hit, thats when your worse nightmare happens. Roy Jones Jr. always had a problem on getting knocked out. See, I never think about that. Think about what I just said. Two things Roy Jones and I hope hes listening that had a problem with and always thought about it, every fight and every time hes stayed in his game, he never wanted to wind up and he never wanted to get knocked out. There was two major things thats his weakness and his armor. Everything else is great, historic and legendary. But its two major things that haunt this guy, never to get knocked out or to get hit. Thats why his speed and he relied on these things and he mastered these things, but he was useful. Q: Do you think you can walk through him and make it a street fight? B. Hopkins Im going to have to. Listen, you look at the times you got knocked out and beat. Those guys werent fancy fighters. Glenn Johnson, flat-footed came right in, take a punch, throw a punch- Q: All over him. B. Hopkins Exactly, exactly. Everybody he knocked out other than Tarver was a no flash and pretty fighter. Q: Yes, Danny Green jumped on him and caught him. B. Hopkins Glen Johnson worked him down for nine rounds, worked him down. Hes a work horse. Hes like a termite. Q: I have one more thing for you. You hit on John Ruiz about how we could pull rabbits out of the hat and David Haye is not lock against him. If John Ruiz upsets David Haye and after you beat Roy Jones, would you have any interest in fighting Ruiz for the WBA title? B. Hopkins I want to fight the winner of that fight. Theyre both under Golden Boy Promotions, I dont know if you knew that. Q: Bernard, again, I hate to sound, to beat the subject to death, but Roy talked about stopping you. He sort of gave a game plan about stopping you. What is your game plan as far as maybe stopping him? B. Hopkins Ill tell you my game plan is to wait to see him come and try to do something to me and do it to him before he do it to me. Because Roy Jonesgameplan that he told you, thats a false decoy game plan. Roy Jones might act like hes crazy, but Roy Jones is too smart to voluntarily give up his game plan to you, knowing that youre going to ask me the same question. So my game plan is simple. My game plan is is that I want the 60% of this whole promotion, so I must get this guy of here within 12. I dont know how the fight is going to start off. I dont know how the fight is going to end, but Ill tell you I want to stop Roy and I want to end his career where I help him start his career in 93 and become a champion. And 17 years in between those sandwich years, I ended. That is so profound, isnt it? He started his career with Bernard Hopkins, the first middleweight champion and his career being the champion and winning the first title of his career. And then he happened to see me when his career is over, that doesnt happen all the time. Q: No, it doesnt. B. Hopkins I helped start his career basically and now Im helping end it. Thats is really profound. Q: It certainly is. My last question to you is this. In that first fight, I was there. He seemed to have got off to an early start. Will you allow that this time? B. Hopkins I cant afford to do that and guess what, Im not the same, as you know, I cant. I dont think would have been on this phone if I was the same fighter in 93 than I am now. I had won titles, I had beaten guys that he lost to. Can you imagine what that would do to my psyche and my confidence? Youre talking about a whole new different Bernard Hopkins. The question is, Bernard has proven hes has gotten better and getting better like fine wine. And can Roy say the same thing? Can Roy say that hes gotten better? April 3rd is going to be doomsday. Its going to be the day of questioning. Has Roy Jones Jr. gotten better since 1993 when we first fought or has Bernard Hopkins gotten better. I think thats the major, major discussion that people are going to be discussing when they hear this between now and come fight time in another ten days. Q: Thats a very valid point you made. Good luck to you, Bernard. K. Swanson Okay, great, thank you, everybody, for joining today. Bernard, are you good. Do you want to say any last words? Its been so profound today, I just want to make sure we didnt miss anything. Are you good, Bernard? B. Hopkins Im good. K. Swanson Okay, good, and we thank also Oscar de la Hoya for being on the call with Bernard. And everybody watch for a fight week schedule thats coming out shortly in the next couple days. We have a great fight week lined up for Las Vegas. You heard the details of the fight before the call got started.

Spiritual Guidance: Did we need the patch 3.2 nerfs? {WoW}
Jun 22nd 2009 4:38PM Your reasoning is slightly flawed. It will be a nerf to all tanking classes due to the way armor scales.
At 28000 armor and 62.7% damage reduction a tank gets Inspiration and this is buffed to 35000 and 67.8% damage reduction. This looks like only a gain of 5 percent, however it is actually a difference of 13.6%. Because before the tank was taking 37.3 and is now taking 32.2, this yields a difference of 13.6%. Making it a nerf to tanks and a buff to all other classes.

Feb 17th 2009 5:07PM I am going to agree with some of you here. I don't believe the problem is so much that people don't like respecing and gearing and whatnot, that is a problem dual-specs will eliminate. But its the nature of people, some people just cant take the responsibility of healing or tanking or just dont like it. Personally i play a pally tank, not very geared due to school, i love the leader role and controlling the flow of the run. However i know a lot of people in game, life, my guild, that couldn't do it, they just don't have what i would say makes a good tank or healer. Their other spec may end up being a healer but odds are they will rarely, if ever use, it.

Greenway And Rose Medical Group Partner To Create Advanced Care Coordination Platform
"Greenway's long-term investment in interoperability and cloud computing have prepared us well to partner with Rose Medical Group for this important initiative," said Greenway® President and Chief Executive Officer Tee Green. "We look forward to helping Rose Medical Group and Rose Medical Center go beyond simply building an HIE to creating the fully integrated community that providers, payers and patients all want and need. That is the future of healthcare delivery."
The Greenway-Rose Medical Group project will consist of three phases. Phase one will organize and aggregate data among disparate systems into a consolidated view, standardized by the cloud-based platform. The resulting data liquidity is the basic building block for giving care providers access to more-complete patient data at the point of decision-making so they can better manage ongoing care, facilitate preventive care and reduce duplicative and costly care. Phase two will create the single sign-on portal for greater patient engagement as well as further reporting enhancements. The final phase will give care coordinators the ability to track and monitor population health through the integration of clinical guidelines for chronic disease management and the incorporation of collaborative care plans to more effectively manage patient care across the healthcare continuum.

A 16-year-old flaw in OpenSSL has been uncovered, just two months after the Heartbleed saga came to light.
An advisory notice on the OpenSSL website reports that a man-in-the-middle vulnerability – referred to as CVE-2014-0224 – was uncovered by security researcher Masashi Kikuchi.
"An attacker using a carefully crafted handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers. This can be exploited by a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can decrypt and modify traffic from the attacked client and server," the advisory states.
It adds that the attack can only be performed if both the client and server are vulnerable, which will be the case if servers are running OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.2-beta1.
"Users of OpenSSL servers earlier than 1.0.1 are advised to upgrade as a precaution," the notice says.
Kikuchi helped to produce a fix for the problem that was finalised by Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL core team and is available to download and install from here.
Kikuchi provided more information on how he uncovered the bug on a blog post, revealing that the issue had never been found before due to insufficient code checks.
"The biggest reason why the bug hasn't been found for over 16 years is that code reviews were insufficient, especially from experts who had experiences with TLS/SSL implementation," he wrote.
"If the reviewers had enough experiences, they should have verified OpenSSL code in the same way they do their own code and they could have detected the problem."
Nicholas Percoco, vice president of strategic services at security firm Rapid7, said that given most servers had been upgraded to the most recent version after Heartbleed, millions could be affected by this latest threat.
"The newly disclosed man-in-the-middle vulnerability disclosed in OpenSSL affects all client applications and devices that run OpenSSL when communicating to vulnerable servers of specific versions, but includes the most recent.
"This likely contains the majority of systems on the internet given most rushed to upgrade OpenSSL after the Heartbleed disclosure in early April of this year."
The latest security woes around OpenSSL show that the two new staff being sought by The Linux Foundation to work on the technology will have plenty to keep them occupied.

The real purpose of trolling: Nasty comments change what we think
Submitted by Bob-45 on Sun, 03/03/2013 - 16:29Dominique Brossard and Dietram A. Schuefele | NY Times
In the beginning, the technology gods created the Internet and saw that it was good. Here, at last, was a public sphere with unlimited potential for reasoned debate and the thoughtful exchange of ideas, an enlightening conversational bridge across the many geographic, social, cultural, ideological and economic boundaries that ordinarily separate us in life, a way to pay bills without a stamp.
Then someone invented "reader comments" and paradise was lost.
The Web, it should be said, is still a marvelous place for public debate. But when it comes to reading and understanding news stories online - like this one, for example - the medium can have a surprisingly potent effect on the message. Comments from some readers, our research shows, can significantly distort what other readers think was reported in the first place.
But here, it's not the content of the comments that matters. It's the tone.

Comments are often the best
Comments are often the best and most informative post underneath the typical propaganda the MSM puts out. I hate those articles that don't even have a comment section...it almost feels like a regal decree with no comment allowed from the peons. I love when I read some propaganda and then see that there are enlightened people commenting on the flaws of the article underneath it. Comment sections have been an excellent benefit of the internet.

So, shouldnt the govt step in?
Noone likes the trolls who just come in to rile people up. But it can be effective on different levels- and you'd better believe the government and corporations know this as well!
At least the article didnt propose some draconian government controls- I was waiting for the token expert to chime in with examples of teenage suicides stemming from mean comments on a message board. Comments sections are obviously still important to the thought controllers, who aim to gauge public sentiment on a subject instantaneously. If you believe the "web" or "net" is a control grid for the burgeoning technocracy, then you'll recognize that public comment will no longer be sought once the hammer of tyranny is dropped! Anybody know if they have comment sections in red China?

In awe of the irony
"The Web, it should be said, is still a marvelous place for public debate. But when it comes to reading and understanding news stories online — like this one, for example — the medium can have a surprisingly potent effect on the message. Comments from some readers, our research shows, can significantly distort what other readers think was reported in the first place."
And by distort, they actually mean present the other side of the argument I'm sure.
I wonder if the authors realize that their entire article is nothing more than a comment on a study, the only difference being that their comment happens to be sponsored and promoted by NYT? Yes, the article's authors performed the study, but the vast majority of the article (and a good bit of the study as well), is commentary.
For the record, I just read the paper, and the study resulted in a pretty weak correlation at best (R^2 =17%). Only 2 of the 4 original hypotheses were proven even using the weak correlation, and the "polarization effect" was not even one of the original hypotheses. After discovering this "polarization effect", they went on conjecture why they thought it occurred (not once did they attribute it to the fact that the blog was neutral, and that strongly opinionated comments could possibly win people over to their own view). They didn't even publish the blog article or comments, so I can't comment much more on that.

17%? That might as well not
17%? That might as well not even be a correlation at all. Heck, that could even possibly be within a larger error range.

The CB radio even has trolls. There is a local guy here who is on SSI who does nothing but go fishing and start arguments on the CB radio. That's his life. I don't think there is much of an agenda there.

This is why I don't think I could be someone who carries a radio. I don't know how people could listen to those things day in day out.

NYT and many other MSM fear
NYT and many other MSM fear the comments section because it publicly displays their obsolescence as real people rebut their propaganda for everyone to see. After they ban the comments section or force you to use your personal identity to make comments there's a simple solution, and sites like this already provide it partially. Another website which hosts comments for any web article and provides the link for readers.

Of course they want to control the message.
"One possible approach to moderate the nasty effect, of course, is to shut down online reader comments altogether, as some media organizations and bloggers have done. Paul Krugman's blog post on this newspaper's Web site on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, for instance, simply ended with "I'm not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons."

I've been working on an article with nearly the opposite thesis.
My argument is that the story is in the comments themselves.
Sometimes I skip straight from a headline to the comments section to avoid slogging through the propaganda news piece and getting right to the straight skinny.
I believe there are primarily just two kinds of comments - reasoned analysis by people who are informed on an issue and able and willing to dissect an article and break down the truth and what really matters, and 'troll droppings' which can usually be identified after just two or three words, and skipped.
Not that I would dare argue against the fluous, dare I say superfluous, view of the eminent New York Times...

I agree, I often do that do
Depending on the article, blog, or subject matter - I'll scan it then skip to the comments to get a pulse on the readership of the site and what the people think of it ...
Very revealing more often than not. About a lot of things.

Are there Trolls yes... But there is also public sentiment. Often I look at the Yahoo article slant then scroll down to the comments and the public's opinion is the exact opposite. It's beautiful.

Typical NYT anti-free speech crap
Propagandists such as the NYT HATE reader comments because THAT is where the rebuttals to their lies are found. Time after time I have read lying, biased articles online and found the "other side" within the reader comments. Krugman doesn't like his Keynesian elites-o-nomics shown up for what it is, so he bans comments. Big deal. He will be rebutted on other websites. "Mean-spirited' depends on who is defining it. Is it "mean-spirited" to object to being lied to? Name callling trolls are obvious fakes who can't defend their position, just ignore them, sticks and stones.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Your love, God, is my song, and I'll sing it! I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are. | 1 I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. |
2 I'll never quit telling the story of your love - how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world. | 2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself. |
3 You once said, "I joined forces with my chosen leader, I pledged my word to my servant, David, saying, | 3 You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, |
4 'Everyone descending from you is guaranteed life; I'll make your rule as solid and lasting as rock.'" | 4 'I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.' " "Selah" |
5 God! Let the cosmos praise your wonderful ways, the choir of holy angels sing anthems to your faithful ways! | 5 The heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. |
6 Search high and low, scan skies and land, you'll find nothing and no one quite like God. | 6 For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings? |
7 The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him. | 7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him. |
8 God of the Angel Armies, who is like you, powerful and faithful from every angle? | 8 O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you. |
9 You put the arrogant ocean in its place and calm its waves when they turn unruly. | 9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them. |
10 You gave that old hag Egypt the back of your hand, you brushed off your enemies with a flick of your wrist. | 10 You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies. |
11 You own the cosmos - you made everything in it, everything from atom to archangel. | 11 The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it. |
12 You positioned the North and South Poles; the mountains Tabor and Hermon sing duets to you. | 12 You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. |
13 With your well-muscled arm and your grip of steel - nobody trifles with you! | 13 Your arm is endued with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. |
14 The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits. | 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. |
15 Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God. | 15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. |
16 Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do - they can't keep it quiet! | 16 They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. |
17 Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us - you've been so good to us! We're walking on air! | 17 For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn. |
18 All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King! | 18 Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
19 A long time ago you spoke in a vision, you spoke to your faithful beloved: "I've crowned a hero, I chose the best I could find; | 19 Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: "I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have exalted a young man from among the people. |
20 I found David, my servant, poured holy oil on his head, | 20 I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him. |
21 And I'll keep my hand steadily on him, yes, I'll stick with him through thick and thin. | 21 My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him. |
22 No enemy will get the best of him, no scoundrel will do him in. | 22 No enemy will subject him to tribute; no wicked man will oppress him. |
23 I'll weed out all who oppose him, I'll clean out all who hate him. | 23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries. |
24 I'm with him for good and I'll love him forever; I've set him on high - he's riding high! | 24 My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted. |
25 I've put Ocean in his one hand, River in the other; | 25 I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers. |
26 he'll call out, 'Oh, my Father - my God, my Rock of Salvation!' | 26 He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.' |
27 Yes, I'm setting him apart as the First of the royal line, High King over all of earth's kings. | 27 I will also appoint him my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth. |
28 I'll preserve him eternally in my love, I'll faithfully do all I so solemnly promised. | 28 I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail. |
29 I'll guarantee his family tree and underwrite his rule. | 29 I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure. |
30 If his children refuse to do what I tell them, if they refuse to walk in the way I show them, | 30 "If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes, |
31 If they spit on the directions I give them and tear up the rules I post for them | 31 if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands, |
32 - I'll rub their faces in the dirt of their rebellion and make them face the music. | 32 I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging; |
33 But I'll never throw them out, never abandon or disown them. | 33 but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness. |
34 Do you think I'd withdraw my holy promise? or take back words I'd already spoken? | 34 I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered. |
35 I've given my word, my whole and holy word; do you think I would lie to David? | 35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness-- and I will not lie to David-- |
36 His family tree is here for good, his sovereignty as sure as the sun, | 36 that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun; |
37 Dependable as the phases of the moon, inescapable as weather." | 37 it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky." "Selah" |
38 But God, you did walk off and leave us, you lost your temper with the one you anointed. | 38 But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one. |
39 You tore up the promise you made to your servant, you stomped his crown in the mud. | 39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust. |
40 You blasted his home to kingdom come, reduced his city to a pile of rubble | 40 You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins. |
41 Picked clean by wayfaring strangers, a joke to all the neighbors. | 41 All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. |
42 You declared a holiday for all his enemies, and they're celebrating for all they're worth. | 42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. |
43 Angry, you opposed him in battle, refused to fight on his side; | 43 You have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle. |
44 You robbed him of his splendor, humiliated this warrior, ground his kingly honor in the dirt. | 44 You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground. |
45 You took the best years of his life and left him an impotent, ruined husk. | 45 You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame. "Selah" |
46 How long do we put up with this, God? Are you gone for good? Will you hold this grudge forever? | 46 How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? |
47 Remember my sorrow and how short life is. Did you create men and women for nothing but this? | 47 Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all men! |
48 We'll see death soon enough. Everyone does. And there's no back door out of hell. | 48 What man can live and not see death, or save himself from the power of the grave ? "Selah" |
49 So where is the love you're so famous for, Lord? What happened to your promise to David? | 49 O Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David? |
50 Take a good look at your servant, dear Lord; I'm the butt of the jokes of all nations, | 50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations, |
51 The taunting jokes of your enemies, God, as they dog the steps of your dear anointed. | 51 the taunts with which your enemies have mocked, O LORD, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one. |
52 Blessed be God forever and always! Yes. Oh, yes. | 52 Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. |

I ask comedian Roseanne Barr whether there's a fine line between what is offensive and distasteful, and what constitutes an abuse of free speech.
In case you haven't noticed, the campaign for the movie of Fifty Shades of Grey has already begun, in anticipation of a Valentine's Day release. Many of those who go to the movie will have read the book. But will the movie version have A HAPPY ENDING? Everyone has their own kink.

Nearly three weeks ago, the Salt Lake Tribune's Godbeat pro Peggy Fletcher Stack reported on a new Mormon essay concerning church founder Joseph Smith taking multiple wives.
A few days after that (right after reporting on Mormon undergarments), The Associated Press jumped on the story.
But not until this week did The New York Times put the story on its front page with this headline:
It's Official: Mormon Founder Had Many Wives
Apparently, when the Times declares news "official," it becomes much bigger news — because suddenly the story is everywhere.
It's time for another "big news report card," and I'm in a relatively generous mood when it comes to today's grades.

I mean, yeah, there's some spin in this article. But i've seen far far worse on slashdot. It makes a huge leap from "will apple actually do it" to "will people start installing linux" which is fairly preposterous. But it seems clear that apple is at least contemplating a version of iAds for the desktop space. and it might be something some subset of users would tolerate or embrace. However, it's kind of fanboish to just dismiss the question with some crazy kiosk talk and a "no big deal" defense of ads.
honestly though, i think the important question here is: if they have desktop iAds will they start a desktop app store? now THAT would be a big change for the consumer desktop world.

divorced from meaning. Virtually no time is spent in relating the various representations—decimals, fractions, percents—to each other.31
While these are all significant problems and oversights, however, there are more basic problems with traditional instruction. The central problem with most textbook instruction, many researchers agree,32 is the failure of textbooks to provide a grounding for the major conceptual shift to multiplicative reasoning that is essential to mastering rational number. To support this claim, let us look at how rational number is typically introduced in traditional practice.
Most of us learned fractions with the model of a pie chart, and for many people, fractions remain inextricably linked to a picture of a partly shaded shape. Instruction traditionally begins with the presentation of pictures of circles (pies) and rectangles (cakes) that are partitioned and partially shaded. First, students are asked to count the number of parts in the whole shape and then the number of parts shaded. They then use these counts as the basis for naming and symbolically representing fractions. They learn that the top number, the numerator, always indicates how many pieces are shaded and that the bottom number, the denominator, always tells how many pieces there are in all. Next, using these same sorts of pictures (see Figure 7-3), instruction continues with simple addition and subtraction operations: "Two shaded 1/4 pieces (the bottom half of the circle) + 1 shaded 1/4 piece (the top left piece of the circle) = 3 shaded 1/4 pieces or 3/4."
From a psychological perspective, this introduction is sound because it is based on students' present knowledge and aligned with their experiences both in and out of school. We know that students' formal mathematics programs have been based on counting, and that from everyday experience, students know about cutting equal pieces of pies and cakes. Thus, the act of assessing partitioned regions is well within their experience.
From a mathematical point of view, the rationale for this introduction is
